Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of Elohiym deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of Elohiym. But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Hamashia, who is the image of Elohiym, should shine unto them. 2 Corinthians 4:1-4
These verses are accurate in describing the human mind. The unsaved's dishonesty is hidden, they conduct themselves according to false wisdom and corrupt what the Bible or people are saying. These people cannot understand the Word of Elohiym so they are not going to understand you. You and your Bible are foolishness in their mind.
Most people look at what they see and judge others with their prejudice. To understand Elohiym, don't look at the things that can be seen, but look at the things that cannot be not seen. This world and it's governments, businesses and entertainment that can be seen are temporal, so why look at them? The things that are not seen are eternal. For one example the heart of a loving saved person. Not just the pumping of their blood, but the unseen heart that tugs at their emotions. Their heart will risk everything for what it loves. But the action of the mind will have calculated the details for the most profitable outcome.
Salvation and becoming born again are unseen. Salvation in Hebrew is yēšaʿ, (yeh'-shah) a masculine noun. Born Again are a verb and an adverb that is to say, be born from above. We can be a child of Salvation.
The human mind's natural desire is to be like God, God as in Satan's definition. But Yahuah Elohiym would ask, Have you an arm like God? Or can you thunder with a voice like Him? When Satan convinced Eve to eat the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil to be like Elohiym, Elohiym is a masculine noun. But the nation of Israel is referred to as a female. It's like Satan wanted the nations to switch genders.
For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, and the anguish as of her that brought forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, that bewails herself, that spreads her hands, saying, Woe is me now! for my soul is wearied because of murderers. Jeremiah 4:31
Adam and Eve was Elohiym already. We see this in Psalm 82:6. I have said, You are Elohiym; and all of you are children of the most High. What Satan did was to corrupt the natural and spiritual DNA to become mankind's father.
What Satan was saying is that Eve, a woman, could be like the masculine creator, but knowing good and evil. Up to then Eve only knew Truth. But what sank the human race is when Adam was submissive and took the bite of Death. We see this today where genders are blurred, combination of, genders or gender erased. There's 72 of these besides male and female. Scientifically there's only two biological genders. Anyone believing in Yahuah Elohiym would say two also.
The human mind is quick to believe a lie but rejects truth.
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. 2 Timothy 4:3-4
The world is getting worse year to year. At one time using the correct bathroom was considered a healthy practice. But today it's not considered correct to judge by scientific gender.
Which way is up?
But Elohiym has revealed them unto us by His Spirit: for the Spirit searched all things, yea, the deep things of Elohiym. For what man knows the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? Even so the things of Elohiym knows no man, but the Spirit of Elohiym. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of Elohiym; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of Elohiym. 1 Corinthians 2:10-12
In other words, if a person is Born Again from Salvation through Yahusha Hamashia, it's possible to understand things that are unknown to most people. Life is more than flesh, power and pride. Those things you must work at to stay on top. Salvation is something you are born into by choice. It's a Transfiguration of the mind and heart.
